Debugging SOAP

I first met NuMega's core team, Frank Grossman and Jim
Moskun, at Fall Comdex in 1988. During this year's Comdex week, I
caught up with them again -- not in Las Vegas, but in the Hollis,
N.H., offices of their new venture, Mindreef. After selling NuMega
to Compuware and taking some time off, they're back in the game
with a new debugger called SOAPscope. The first version, SOAPscope
Personal, has been earning rave reviews from the pros on Yahoo's
soapbuilders list. It's a sniffer (or, optionally, a proxy) that
watches, simplifies, and can interact with SOAP traffic. [Full
